Rear seat space
#21
Kevin brings up a couple good points I forgot to mention. Although legroom seemed to be adequate, the headroom is a bit tight when the rear-seat passengers lean back in the seat. You have to lean up a bit, or crouch down in the seat. And also, it isn't the easiest thing to get into the back seat. The way I see it though... it's a sports car. It's not supposed to have a lot of room back there. And anyone sitting back there shouldn't complain... they are riding in a Mustang after all.

Its definatly for non-paying customers. Other then the headroom being a little tight, its not THAT bad for a sports coupe. You do have to manipulate the seats quite a bit to shoehorn someone back there though.

Do all of the new stangs have the level at the back of the seat like in that pic? I know originally it was going to be on the side but this is the first pic I have seen it near the top (where it should).

Thanks Giddyup.
That looks like it will work just fine. Like I say, in my 02, its usually just my wife and I. Its just those stupid situations, where you have to drop a couple people off at the airport, go for lunch with 2 other people, that sort of thing. Their confort isn't my concern. As long as I can wedge them back there, thats all that matters to me. From the pics, it looks like it should be just fine; at very least, no worse than my 02.
Thanks again.

I'm going back to the Ford store today. They have 3 Mustangs, so I will check all of them to see where it is place on a non-airbag (side), if they have one....

While people are taking pics, could someone with kids throw a carseat in the back. I have a 2 year old and my wifes only argument about getting an 05 is not being able to fit him back there. Been able to shoot down any other objections thanks to this site
I agree that it is a 2 person car, with four seats. I think a car seat for a child would cause several problems. The seat is deep, and while that helps for the leg room I think the car seat would not be stable. Secondly, getting the kid in and out would be destroy your back for your later years of pain free fun with the kids. Sorry, I'm on the other side of the young kids - - and just looking at it practically. Definitely, this spells third car - if you have young kids.

Correct.
Edit: Sorry... just read that back. The lever is at the top if you do NOT have side air bags. Mine are up at the top/back like in that pic and I have no side airbags. I believe that they are down below if you get the side airbags.

I'm 5'5", 140. The only space issue I have is being able to push the clutch all the way in. The tall guy gets to sit behind me! I sat in the back seat and thought is was very comfortable. The quarter window helps from feeling claustrophobic too. IMO

I think that is only the case when there are side air bags. Don't hold me to that though.
I have the GT premium with no side airbags, and the lever is at the top backside if the seat as the picture shows. My Wife just got a V-6 premium, leather seats with the side airbags, and hers is the same location as mine without the airbags.

I am 6 ft tall and 220 pds. I sat in the back to get the feel and just hated the back seat. Lucky for me I drive the thing in total comfort from the front. If you are taller than 5'10'' then you may want to curl up in the more spacious trunk with the back seat portions lowered!

Remember, the headroom issue is easy to solve. . .

Guess I'll do that. Was trying to avoid doing that though so I don't have to worry about some dealer telling me he needs to do a credit check on me before I can put a car seat in the back :stubborn:
